The centerpiece of their offseason was trading Kevin Durant to the Houston Rockets in exchange for Jalen Green and Dillon Brooks.<\/p><p>Durant&rsquo;s time in Phoenix never delivered the success the two sides had hoped for, which ultimately led to the split. Suns owner Mat Ishbia explained the reasoning during an interview on NBA Today.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\"[Kevin Durant] just wasn't a fit for what we're doing going forward.\"<br><br>&mdash;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Suns?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>@Suns<\/a> owner Mat Ishbia reflects on trading Kevin Durant to the Rockets <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/1DHpg0l5aq\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/1DHpg0l5aq<\/a><\/p>&mdash; NBA on ESPN (@ESPNNBA) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ESPNNBA\/status\/1970941639049773063?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>September 24, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>&ldquo;Kevin Durant&rsquo;s a great player, there&rsquo;s no one that can ever question that,&rdquo; said Ishbia. &ldquo;[But he] just wasn&rsquo;t a fit for what we&rsquo;re doing going forward.<\/p><p>&ldquo;Obviously he&rsquo;s had an amazing career, but he&rsquo;s not a fit for what we&rsquo;re gonna do going forward,&rdquo; Ishbia added.<\/p><p>By completing the deal, the <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/tag\/phoenix-suns\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>Phoenix Suns<\/a> acquired a young scorer in Jalen Green along with Dillon Brooks, a proven 3-and-D contributor.

But that&rsquo;s just the name of the game. So, I got over that quickly and was trying to figure out what the next steps were.&rdquo;<\/p><p>The Golden State Warriors also expressed interest in Kevin Durant at the deadline, but he blocked that potential move. Now, he begins a new chapter with the Rockets, a young team with championship potential.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mm-layout mm-layout-type-post
